"Basically, it can start in less than a month!" Ning Hao said. Their situation is different from Wang Zhengfei's. "Crazy Racing" will basically continue the original team of "Crazy Stone!"
Because of this relationship, there is no need to look for them one by one, but it is much easier. The most difficult part is the script. After Xianzi A's script has been approved by Wang Zhengfei, everything else is no longer a problem.
After getting Wang Zhengfei's approval, Ning Hao left with satisfaction to prepare for the shooting.
However, Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan had other matters to resolve.
That is the matter of the filming funds for "Crazy Racing". Star Entertainment's filming funds are not very sufficient. Although it was said that "Crazy Stone" made more than 60 million yuan last time, 50 million of them were invested.
When the filming of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is in progress, the remaining more than 10 million has to be kept for safety, which is the so-called working capital. There is very little left, and "Crazy Racing" and "Crazy"
"The Stone" is different, the cost will undoubtedly rise further, the most important of which is the increase in actor costs.
When you starred in "Crazy Stone", to put it harshly, who knows who you are, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others? At that time, if you were worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per person, it would be considered a high income, but it is different now, "Crazy Stone"
After the hit, the net worth of several people increased many times in an instant. Although they were willing to stay and film "Crazy Racing" to a large extent because of the face of Ning Hao and Wang Zhengfei, of course, the more important thing is that "Crazy Racing"
The story of "The Racing Car" really attracted them. They believed that this story could become popular, just like "Crazy Stone", and that's why they stayed. However, although they said they didn't care about the salary, as long as they paid it,
However, if you really just look at it and give it away casually, it will undoubtedly hurt the person's heart. After you have cooperated once, you won't be able to invite the person you want to invite the next time.
Just like Zhang Jizhong, he is basically stingy and stingy. It is basically difficult for someone who has worked with him once to work with him a second time.
With this money as a base, the cost of "Crazy Racing" has ballooned like a balloon. Twenty million is the minimum, and if it is not guaranteed, it will cost another thirty million. This money can only be paid by Wang Zhengfei.
At that time, the two of them will become the same poor paupers.
"There is nothing we can do about this matter. I basically don't have any money on hand, so I have to find you!" Gao Yan said very directly, without beating around the bush or anything, because to him, Wang Zhengfei was not an outsider.
He is still a minority shareholder of Xingchen Entertainment, so he has nothing to hide.
"No problem, you and I each contribute half of this "Crazy Racing". It should be said that the company and I each contribute half. If it is insufficient, I will make up for the shortfall. Anyway, soon, the investment in "Sword of Immortality" will
Some of it should be returned, and you won’t have to worry about it then. I will have time to pay it back by then!" Wang Zhengfei nodded and said, he and Xingchen Entertainment each contributed 10 million, which should be enough for the filming of "Crazy Racing", and the remaining
Even if it is slightly lacking, Wang Zhengfei can still make up for it, and this is not a problem.
"Now that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to be broadcast, the news I received is that just the broadcast rights for the first round and part of the second round were sold, and "Legend of Sword" has already taken back most of the rights.
Funding!" Gao Yan said excitedly after hearing what Wang Zhengfei said.
In fact, the post-editing of "Sword of Immortal" was completed not long after the Spring Festival. It was mainly to negotiate with various TV stations about the broadcast rights. They kept arguing with each other until recently when they finally agreed on the price and then said they would broadcast it.
It came out. When they were arguing before, Wang Zhengfei didn't know much. It was useless for him to know so much at that time. They have almost reached an agreement now. He must know it. After all, he is still a member of "Sword and Fairy".
What about investors?
Basically, Sang's second round of funds will be able to withdraw almost all the funds. By then, Xingchen Entertainment will be able to withdraw almost seven to eight million, and Wang Zhengfei will be able to withdraw around ten million, so Wang Zhengfei said that after the funds are withdrawn, other
Problems are not problems.
"Well, by then, the funding problem will be solved. The funds returned from "Sword" will be enough to support "Crazy Racing" until it is released!" Wang Zhengfei said, and the 20 to 30 million here does not only refer to "Crazy Racing"
There are also a series of costs including the cost of promoting the crazy racing.
"Yeah! That's right, but are you busy enough to come here? You must be very busy right now filming "Mischief Kiss", and you also have to do the preparatory work for "Qin Shi Mingyue". Now I have received a request from the Tang Dynasty
In almost six months, "Sword and Sword" will start airing on major TV stations, and you, the leading actor, should not be absent by then!" Gao Yan said.
Having said this, Wang Zhengfei's head also hurts a bit. These things are basically concentrated together. The filming time of "Mischief Kiss" has been squeezed to the extreme. Basically, more than one and a half episodes can be filmed in a week.
It has reached its limit at one point and there is no way to squeeze it out anymore.
If you count it like this, "Mischief's Kiss" is actually second, because by that time, "Sword" will not be broadcast until more than six months, and "Mischief's Kiss" has already ended, so what should you do? The only thing
The problem is the conflict between "Sword" and "Qin Shi Mingyue". The filming of "Qin Shi Mingyue" will not be delayed until mid-July at the latest, otherwise it will really be missed, so it must be done as early as possible, so Wang Zhengfei
At that time, he might only do some initial publicity for "Sword and Fairy", that is, the first round and part of the second round. As for the third round and so on, then he really has no choice, he is just afraid of saying that Tang people
Bianhui was a little dissatisfied, but Wang Zhengfei thought that they should be able to understand. After all, there is really nothing that can be done about this kind of thing, and Cai Yinong is also a reasonable person.
"But it shouldn't be a big problem. By then, we should still be able to handle it. It's just that time is a bit tight!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Is there really no problem? Are you too tired?" Gao Yan said. Now that Wang Zhenfa is the backbone of Xingchen Entertainment and the biggest name, he cannot care less.
"It's okay, really!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "By the way, how do you feel about the "Snow Leopard" script I showed you last time? Have you read it?"
Since Wang Zhengfei came up with this idea during the Spring Festival, he very quickly put this idea into action and wrote the script. However, due to the tight schedule of filming "Mischief Kiss", he did not finish it at all and almost only completed the first half.
, and then showed it to Gao Yan to see if there was any problem.
"I've read "Snow Leopard". It should be a very good script. Just because of your name, there is no problem at all!" Gao Yan said jokingly, "Now you are also a gold medal screenwriter in the country.
, if you shout, I don’t know how many people will want your script!”
"Haha, of course I have to keep good scripts for the company. I'm just not sure if there are any taboos. You know, our country is like this. I don't know if it will be blocked by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau.
Let it go!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"It shouldn't be a big problem with the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, as long as the army doesn't stop it!" Gao Yan said, "Although I only saw the first half of you, there is nothing to insult the army. Basically, it is
It shows that our country’s soldiers sacrificed their lives and blood to protect the country at that time. It’s not a big problem to pass this, and the army is not so narrow-minded. When the time comes, I will find a few elders I know to help take care of it!”
Gao Yan's words cheered up Wang Zhengfei. Since it was said that an elder in the family would appear, then this elder must be very important in the army. With them taking care of him, there would be no problem.
Besides, this script is not meant to discredit the military. In the final analysis, although the first half mainly talks about the Kuomintang’s military, it is not the Chinese military after all. Moreover, Wang Zhengfei also deliberately blurred the boundaries between parties and only constantly emphasized the national crisis.
, passionately saving the country, and dying generously, this basically doesn’t matter. If it is written in a positive way, they are all in the [***] squadron. Now the army also has a good reputation. Anyway, the party has been in the world for so many years, and it can still be afraid of the Kuomintang.
It's a big change. It's written on the opposite side. They are also the Kuomintang's army, which does not damage the positive image of the party and the country.
As for the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, although they are often nosy, the military will not pursue such matters, so naturally they will not say much. The key depends on the attitude of the military.
Speaking of which, Wang Zhengfei hates this kind of political content the most, but there is no way. I really felt it at the time, so this script was released. However, when I was writing it, I was still worried about whether it could be filmed, but there was
Gao Yan's words made him feel relieved. Although Gao Yan had never spoken about his family, he knew that he must have a big background and definitely not something that ordinary people could compare to. Since he said so, there would be no problem.
.
"However, although this script is good, the investment is also huge. We don't have the energy for the time being!" Gao Yan said, "We will probably have to wait until the funds for "Qin Shi Mingyue" come back before we can have enough energy!"
Of course, this will only be considered after "Qin Shi Mingyue" makes money, at least not losing money!
